How do you cop onions without crying?

1. Chill The Onion: Placing the onion in the fridge or freezer for about 30 minutes before cutting it can help slow down the release of the irritating chemicals that cause tears.

2. Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife creates a cleaner cut, releasing fewer irritating compounds into the air.

3. Cut The Onion Under Running Water: The water can help wash away the fumes that cause tears.

4. Light A Candle Nearby: The flame from a lit candle can help burn off the vapors released by the onion.

5. Wear Contact Lenses or Goggles: These can provide a barrier between your eyes and the onion fumes.

6. Chew Gum: Chewing gum while cutting onions can help reduce the urge to cry.

7. Use an Onion Holder or Slicer: These tools can help keep your hands and eyes away from the onion while cutting.

8. Keep The Cut Side Of The Onion Facing Down: This can help direct the fumes away from your face.

9. Use A Fan: Having a fan blowing air away from your face while you cut the onion can help disperse the fumes.

10. Hold Your Breath: If all else fails, you can try holding your breath while cutting the onion. Just remember to breathe deeply again once you're done.
